This is a stunningly beautiful unit in the best location on the property. It is beautifully appointed and we loved the homeowners book of the recent renovation. The pool is marvelous. We would appreciate the addition of a gas BBQ on the property instead of charcoal. IMO The only drawback of the property is the lack of an efficient A/C unit. I understand the owner is in the process of changing that. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Everything we ever dreamed of in a Hawaiian vacation! Opened the doors to the stylish and comfortable condo and we all gasped at how nice. Opened the traditional shutters to a magnificent unimpeded view of the ocean directly across the street- perfection! Excellent location, nicely appointed kitchen, bathrooms, and beach supplies. Watching surfers from the sea wall, catching a meteor shower from the lanai. Very memorable stay.

Our family of four stayed at this amazing property for a week. We wanted something that was close to beaches, shops, and restaurants, allowing us to walk, but also far enough away to enjoy some rest and relaxation. It was perfect. One thing we did not realize was that the accommodation did not have central air conditioning. The bedrooms each had a portable air conditioner. It worked out well enough.

Pros:-Beautiful location: cannot be overstated how pretty-Close to diving, snorkeling, restaurants-Well maintained: Excellent, professional property management; very responsive to issues-Good pool-Helpful on-site LaundryCons:-AC (a couple of bedroom units) simply insufficient during the arrival/day/evening. You *will* be suffering.-No heating at night (and it can get quite cool)-Loud noise from people stopped/camped/partying on road nightly (see pro bullet 1: it’s very pretty). Ocean is also kind of loud, but that didn’t bother us as it’s pleasant white noise. -Bizarre louver system on all windows. Yes, theoretically it’s possible (if annoying) to crank these open and closed throughout the day to manage temperature. But at these prices in 2025, I’d expect central environment control.

This property is the best unit in the best property on south shore! Kiahuna beach is the steps away and was our favorite beach- swimming and snorkeling. The property managers were clear with communication and swiftly addressed a minor issue without interfering with our stay. One note- the daybed in the guest room didn't seem to be a full size twin. Perfect for our kid but an adult wouldn't be pleased. Thanks for a memorable stay!

Overall, we had a great experience with the condo itself. Condition was good and well kept. The views of the ocean were great, and it was easy walking distance to a nice beach with swimming. During our stay it seemed like the complex was largely for older couples so just something to keep in mind if you are traveling with kids - our kids had more fun at the beach vs the pool as a result. My only issue with the condo and the reason I would not stay here again is that a road runs in front of the unit which impacted the experience for us. There was a pretty consistent stream of cars and people walking on the road. There was not excessive noise so while this is probably fine for many, I prefer a quieter, more private experience so the road was not ideal. Overall, though, a really good experience.

We stayed at this property for 10 days. The views of the ocean from the living area and master bedroom were spectacular. The kitchen and guest room had views of the pool and grassy area that included lots of palms and flowering plants. Sunset views from the property were looked forward to daily. There were sunset spectators but they were respectful and were always gone shortly after the sun went down, we never had excessive noise. The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances and utensils and the upstairs bedrooms do have an air conditioning unit. The first floor even with sliders all opened was incredibly warm in the afternoon. We tried not to use any of the lights on the 1st floor to try to keep it cooler and more tolerable. The condo is about a 5-10 walk to a local coffee shop and the walk to Poipu Beach took about 15. We enjoyed several meals in Poipu but really found ourselves enamored with the small town of Koloa, about a 7 min drive. We would recommend any family to stay at this rental.

We have eyed this property on previous stays. It did not disappoint. Views are amazing. Great flow through air. Be aware there is no air conditioning on the main level and individual units in the bedrooms. It can be warm at times mainly late afternoon as the sun is setting. We didn’t mind at all. Love it here and would stay again no hesitation. Thank you.

Nice location with easy walk to beach. Short walk to Sheraton. Great breeze with sliding doors open.
Overall wonderful unit and very clean would be perfect if it had central air.

This property is in an ideal location to enjoy Poipu and Koloa. Best sunsets and whale activity right from the private lanai. The condo is well appointed and quiet. More spread out than I anticipated, which was nice! The grounds are clean as is the pool. The property manager was professional and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

This is now our new home to stay when we visit Kaua'i. The location is perfect, being able to walk to beaches and watch the sunset. We loved having the multiple lanais to sit outside and relax. The location allowed us to visit the west and east coasts of Kaua'i easily. The home was comfortable and beautifully decorated. I would not recommend this property to a friend...only because we would want to rent it!

This place was awesome!! If had to complain about anything, I guess it would be the A/C. Each up-stair bedrooms had a small A/C unit, which it did cool it down a little. I would recommend them switching to a mini spilt for the upstairs and downstairs. We are from Texas and we love our A/C's cold.Awaking up every day with the view from the master bedroom was amazing. The house was in a perfect location to run to the locator grocery store or taco stand. We ended up walking down to the Sheraton Beach and hanging out there each day. I would recommend this place.

This condo was phenomenal!! The views and property are incredible (late night stars, waves, sunsets, etc). The AC units were definitely needed as it does get warm during the day. You are able to make it to all parts of the island from the location and many nice beaches real close by.
We have already started talking about when we are going back!!

Outstanding Stay. Great location. Wonderful condo that is well stock. Very quiet for the most part. As a footnote it should be advised that this location is a popular spot for locals and tourist to visit during an hour before to an hour after sunset. For the most part it is very respectful and not an issue. You may experience a few who like to attract attention and spin their car tires to attract attention. In a twelve night stay there was only one evening where police were called. They handled the situation. That was a night of graduation weekend so a much younger and not so respectful gathering. This is not a knock against management company, nor the units location. I believe this should be noted, because according to people I spoke to this has been going on for years. It maybe be annoying or a problem for some renters. Again we had a wonderful and very relaxing holiday.

Phenomenal accommodation! Had my eye on this specific unit for several years now, actually toured it a few years ago (pre Covid) when it was on the market. I longed to have the double lanais and opening to the expanse of lawn. Not disappointed whatsoever! Loved the unit, interior decor was wonderful, so nicely furnished, comfortable beds, plenty of linens, top end kitchen appliances....nothing but good things to say!!!

The owners have fantastic taste and all the details were well appointed. We loved the location, the grounds, and the decor. Everything was there for the beach- in outside closets; two lannae for sunset viewing. We didn’t mind that the locals come to that beach point for sunset - they recognize the beauty of the locale. Beds were super comfortable!! Kitchen was complete. We hope to return!

This is a great property for a group or family in a popular area of Kauai. It is large and comfortable with a well-appointed kitchen. There are only portable air conditioners in the two bedrooms, so it did get a little uncomfortable downstairs during the day if the sliding doors were closed, but once the trade winds kicked in, even the a/c upstairs was not needed.
The only real downside is that the road in front of the condo gets a decent amount of traffic and is a popular running path in the morning and hangout spot for locals at sunset (including some cars trying to do donuts), so it wasn’t particularly private during those times. The evening crowd always left before it got too late, though.

We have stayed at Unit 51 for 5 years, both before and after it was renovated. The current owners did a great job in updating cabinets and furnishings. Poipu Kapili is a wonderful condo project and we think Unit 51 is best unit there. Great location, ocean and sunset views, expansive lawn area outside and two outside patios, and a short walk to the nearby excellent public beach at the Sheraton. The unit is well-stocked, including lots of beach equipment. And the guest relations staff is responsive and helpful.

There was some confusion initially as we did not receive the check-in email instructions and it is not provided on the VRBO app, which is unfortunate. However, we had an earlier email and were able to reach the property manager and a very nice lady immediately walked us through everything and we were able to access with no problems.
We are from Arizona, and our understanding of air conditioning seems to differ from Hawaii definitions. Each bedroom had a unit and fans and there was a portable unit downstairs. However, except for sliding glass doors, the windows had slats with no glass, so the house did not seal and the efficiency of the air conditioning units was inadequate, and they were very noisy. The sliding shutters for one of the sliding doors locked so you could leave the door open for ventilation when you left or overnight, however, the largest downstairs slider that overlooks the ocean had malfunctioning locks so you could not secure the shutters for ventilation. On days of lower humidity it was not a huge problem downstairs, but on higher humidity days, the downstairs was very uncomfortable and the upstairs was bearable, albeit loud due to the AC units.
Both bedrooms are the upstairs, so if there are any mobility issues that is a challenge. I did not see a portable gate for safety of small kids, but there was a playpen.
The location of the home is amazing. Gorgeous views of the ocean and spectacular sunsets. It is close to many nice places to go, and excellent snorkeling is abundant within a 10 minute drive and even walkable. The home was very nicely renovated and it has quality finishes and is very inviting. It has beautiful artwork throughout the home, many originating from the local Latitudes gallery. We enjoyed the beauty of the island, the frequent crows of the abundant roosters and a very sweet orange and white and tabby cat who makes his rounds. If we could have taken him home, we would have. Honestly, our only material complaint is lack of central air conditioning and that is not abundant on the island. It is a wonderful place to stay.

Property is as advertised and in great location on Kauai. Communication was great before check-in up thru leaving, unit is in excellent shape, and the AC in bedrooms finishes off the day. Upon leaving and arriving at Kauai airport, realized I left couple valuable items in unit. Called Shellah and she immediately went to unit before cleaning crew, found items, packaged and shipped to my home. This was above and beyond what most would have done and we're very appreciative of her efforts and communications. This best unit we have stayed at in 4 trips to island and plan on going back.

The property was beyond perfect! It has been beautifully updated and is located as close as possible to the community pool. We immediately opened all the doors and windows and let the trade winds cool the place down. The ocean view from the living room and master bedroom really started and ended the day right. The condo was equipped with anything you could possibly need, including beach chairs and toys for the kids! Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Beautiful, spacious, well-appointed and decorated home away from home has everything you need in order to make you feel as if you live in Kauai. Upon arrival, we found the place to be immaculate and tidy. Our hosts did a wonderful job of decorating with attention to every detail. Kitchen has everything you need - coffee maker, plenty of plates, cups/glasses and utensils, toaster, pots and pans and large fridge/freezer with filtered water and ice maker. Washer and dryer were helpful a few times, as was the iron and ironing board. The back patio overlooking the ocean was amazing morning, noon and night. The winds off the ocean at night were cooling and calming. Beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, snorkel gear (we had our own, but still) and a host of other items like tennis racquets and balls were available and in great shape.
We were very sad to leave this place, but happy we got to enjoy it for 5 nights. Mahalo...until we meet (stay here) again!

We have stayed in this condo about 20 times - always beautiful but particularly so now with the gorgeous re-model. Gif many years, there was peace and quiet at night but now do you the young disrespectful locals, drinking, loud, loud music, throwing beer bottles etc, it has become terribly disruptive to the serenity of this lovely place. One cannot listen to their own music, sit on the wall for sunset or enjoy a lovely dinner outdoors. It is such a shame ! The police do little about it anc the manager in the ofc was rude and obnoxious. We still shared a beautiful time with our grandchildren but this situation certainly put a damper on itAt the end of survey - recommend? Difficult to say with all of the noise. Most people would bd terribly unhappy.

The property is lovely and this particular condo lay our and decor were really wonderful. The only downside of our stay is that the evening sunset included a full street of teenagers drinking and playing their music loudly from their cars each evening/night - one night going until midnight. I was looking for quiet sunset and bedtime. This meant closing up all our doors and earplugs on at least 2 of the nights. Otherwise, good location and great condo/resort. Maybe this was just during summer break with the local kids - but would have been nice to know coming in.

Once someone did a burn out at 11:00 PM that filled the room with smoke. Birds start making a lot of noise at 5:30 AM. If you are used to sleeping in a central AC environment it may be difficult to sleep. We made the best of it! People park and gather along the road right in front of the unit every day from 6:00 PM-9:00 PM. How obnoxious it is depends on the predominant music playing and the people. One evening one group of young women were screaming and howling. One evening, it wasn't bad. We tried to not be in the unit or on the lanai from 6:00-Sunset. The situation is more tolerable in the pool which is a good option if you get back from dinner early. Oddly, when you walk down the road, few people/ cars gather in front of the other homes and condo units on this road. Maybe the management of those units call the police or something?Aside from this issue, the unit is practically perfect. We loved our stay! We stayed for 11 nights and could have stayed longer! A week would have been way too short. One other note - the guidebook mentioned that spare sheets were in the upstairs hall closet. That closet is locked and marked "private." I called the r

Our entire stay was fantastic. I couldn't have asked for a better location. Beautiful sunsets, pool, walking distance to the beach, etc, etc. The only downfall was the faulty wifi. We contacted CBIP and asked if they could fix it - which they did. Unfortunately, it only lasted about 12 hours before it stopped working again. We did our best without wifi for the entire trip, minus 12 hours. Even with this issue, I would rate our stay a 99 out of 100. Kauai is all about Aloha, and this unit was a perfect fit.

This place was ideal for our relaxing vacation. Beautiful view, spacious and fully stocked. Great location, walkable to both shopping villages. The pullout is a small, thin double that is probably best for children. Our only complaint had nothing to do with the rental itself, but the road out front. People tend to come at sunset with loud sound systems in their vehicles. Most leave at a respectable hour and it wasn't a bother, but a few decided to show up at really late hours (midnight and later) and woke us up several times during our stay. The management company was quick to respond to our issues and very friendly.

This townhouse is even better than it looks in the photos. What you can't see is the great attention to detail and comfort. The spacious kitchen was stocked with a wonderful assortment of cookware and attractive serving dishes. The steps leading to the bedrooms even had automatic lights to show safe footing. We didn't need the air conditioning because every room had an efficient ceiling fan. Wifi, smart TV, laundry facilities, etc all worked well. We enjoyed spectacular sunsets every night from the patio, and the pool was just a few steps away. The location offers an easy walk to five different beaches and also to resorts with beachfront restaurants. We would love to stay in the same place on any future trip to Kauai.

This is the 4th or 5th time we've stayed in Unit 51, and the first time since it was renovated a year or two ago. We have always enjoyed Unit 51 for its location in Koloa/Poipu and its layout, with two BR, two BA upstairs, and a full bath downstairs, with good kitchen and family room. This was our best stay yet, as the renovation has put it in first class condition. We love the ocean views from the primary BR, the kitchen/living room and the patio, and our grandkids love to play on the expansive common lawn area that extends out from the unit. We think this is the best unit in Poipu Kapili and we really like Poipu Kapili.
